[QUOTE="HaoZi, post: 438438"] On the skull issue, if she was indeed fully skeletonized it would be pretty pointless to open the skull. New technologies make it easier to see inside without damaging the object (paleontologists and anthropologists use some nifty machines when they can, and the newer "virtual autopsy" machines are looking promising). If she was able to easily see inside it and confirm a lack of breaks/fractures, she had no reason to go further in taking it apart. Removing the skull cap area is generally for removing and examining the brain and dura for evidence of damage, both of which would be gone if it was just a skull. A concussion would generally leave a blood stain on the bone itself, also visible without removal of the cap. [/QUOTE]
